O ur V ie w Possible "windfall" may actually mean tougher choices for GVSU CVSU will get quite a windfall from Gov. Engler - that is, if his proposed budget passes. If it does, GVSU would be in for a 14. percent increase in funding. Engler's proposal, which some are calling a "windfall" for GVSU means our university could get an extra $530 per student. The question is, will students actually see this money? We know that the administration will be looking to the state and to private citizens for money to develop the downtown campus, so it follows that a sizeable chunk of the money will stay in Allendale. Further, Vice President^ University Relations Matt McLogan has said that President Lubbers is planning to keep any tuition hikes below the rate of inflation, so apparently the university's operating costs are not an excessive burden either. ^ So how then will the money be spent? If and when it comes time for the administration to "head back to the hideout and divy up the For Instant History, GVSU Can Adopt A Cemetery loot," The Lanthorn hopes it keeps the needs of its students in mind In 100/11994, IL.Othe 1210 of us who HI?. g.:..g| re-intering______the cemetery____..i along_____ Here are just three areas that could benefit from a "windfall." have been at Grand Valley since the ravine below the Bell Tower •The library.
